Just now, Coinbase announced a targeted social engineering attack (utilizing overseas customer support teams) incident. The attacker made a ransom request of $20 million, but it was rejected by Coinbase.
The information of 1% (approximately 80000 to 100000) of Coinbase's monthly active users has been leaked, including names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, photos in KYC documents, account balance data, etc. Personal information is very comprehensive.
But no funds were stolen, including 2FA verification codes, private keys, etc.
Although Coinbase has established a $20 million fund to reward those who provide attacker information. But for these 1% of users, their data has indeed been leaked, so they may receive phishing emails or phone calls with very high simulation accuracy in the future, so they need to be very careful.
